Default 3000K, 4300K or 6000k for fog HID conversion?

Im getting ready to order a fog conversion HID kit but cant decide on color temp. Can anyone recommend which one to go with? Pros/cons. I have the 6000k in my cart as i type but want to get input before I pull the trigger. Pics of your ride showing which color temp your running would be cool. Also, Whats a good replacement bulb for the HID low/highbeams? Ordering from Xenon depot. TIA! BTW, the riders a 07 IS350.

Well, ended up going with the 6000k. Not really feeling the 3000k but thats just me. Looks cool but I like my lights to match. Will be ordering some 6000k head light replacements soon. Big ups to Steve at Xenon Depot! He answered all my questions and let me know exactly what I needed. Thanks again! Cant wait to get these swapped!

I'm all about function so I like my fogs to cut through as much fog as possible thus if I were to make the decision, I would go with 3000K, but if you like the combination then that's good. Post some pics, I'm sure it would help other members make their decisions

That's exactly what i did!

Went from Yellow, as it was useless to me, and have much better out put at night with 6k. And my lowbeams are 4300k as a nice change in color.
